Responsible recruitment
The questions your compliance team will ask, answered before they ask them.
In this industry an employer’s worst outcome is being named in an investigation. We are structured so that question has an answer: every worker we deploy is recruited in Pakistan, under one regulator, against one licence number you can check.

Licence
BEOE licence 3131/RWP
We are a Government of Pakistan licensed Overseas Employment Promoter, registered with the Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment. The number is 3131/RWP, and it can be checked against the Bureau’s own register.

Pledge
No worker pays a recruitment fee
The employer pays. The worker gets the opportunity.
Under our employer-paid model, the recruitment fee sits with the employer and not with the worker, which is where the ILO’s fair recruitment principles place it.
-
Protection
Anti-trafficking and forced labour
Two documents: a zero-tolerance policy on human trafficking, forced labour and coercion, and an AHTMS prohibition policy setting the controls against trafficking and modern slavery from recruitment to mobilisation.
-
Ethics
Worker welfare and ethical recruitment
Transparency, informed consent and fair treatment, from the first interview to the day a worker is handed over to you.
-
Compliance
Code of conduct and anti-bribery
A code of conduct that binds our own staff at every level, and an anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy that prohibits bribery and facilitation payments.
-
Responsibility
Corporate social and environmental responsibility
Ethical recruitment, worker welfare, community responsibility and accountability, set out in a published CSER statement.
-
Standards
ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001
A quality management system, and an information security management system. The second carries more weight than it appears to on an operation that holds passports, medical records and contracts for tens of thousands of workers.
Where we work
We’re in Iraq, not just selling into it.
